What long terms couples can do for a successful relationship

Long term relationships require a lot of work to offset boredom and any sign of a rut.

In most cases, things can be down that briefly remove the veneer of monotony but eventually after the brilliance of a daring tryst behind a bar wanes off, you go back to the same dull routine from before.

To ensure that boredom doesn't rear it's ugly head again, some successful long term couples have shared what makes their love that much more entertaining than that of others.

Experts even agree that this method could be a key to breaking the rut that plagues so many relationships.

It's easy, simple, cost-effective and only requires a bit of effort.

So what is this method?

Waking up a mere 30 minutes earlier to spend time together.

A New York based couple dubbed their method the 365 Day Challenge where he would wash her hair every morning as they went about their day.

The method only requires a bit of inventiveness to work for the variety of couples out there.

For some, all they need to do is wake up to make breakfast together.

Couples can also go for runs, prepare the kids, or help each other through their morning routines.

Each couple can design something that allows them to re-engage with each other that isn't necessarily sexual that allows them to re-explore that spark that attracted them to each other in the first place.
